I watched bit of Sully at Ohio State. When he fell to us at 21, I called it that we got ourselves a massive steal. His bball iq is off the charts, especially for a rookie. More impressive to me than his numbers tonight is that he's a +24 for the night. That's amazing.

Skys the limit for this kid. He has the iq and fundamentals to be a star. Just look at the Knicks game. Playoff atmosphere, wasn't rattled at all. Tonight, he grabs an offensive board for a putback, then draws the charge on the other end directly after. He does so much right out there. Imagine him in a few years. Imagine the numbers he'd be putting up as a first option? This kids a star.

Didnt I see a thread on here the other day questioning why everyone looks at Sully as untradeable? Maybe it's because in his first significant minutes of the season he hauls down 1 fewer rebound then the entire starting five combined did?

Okay, I LOVE Jared Sullinger. Seeing him getting rebounds left and right is a sight for sore eyes.

That said, I think people need to pump the breaks calling him a star or saying he'll be a "first option" or anything like that. I think perhaps it's been so long since we've seen a legit, talented young big man with upside that we go nuts when there's one on our team.

Sully has shown enough to make me pretty confident that he could start right now and be a very solid, productive player, and that in a few years time he might be a quality player. I'm not sure I ever see him being an All-Star, and definitely not a top offensive option for a really good team. But I think a reasonable ceiling for him is a player like David West or Carl Landry, only with better rebounding.
